> Jewish people are literally being gunned down in the streets in the US, so you don’t need to put antisemitism in scare quotes.

That comment was in response to : "Or who knows, maybe they ban Trump critics or commies from entering the US." I was asking what trump critics or commies have to do with israel or "antisemitism".

> That being said, I don’t think this has anything to do with Israel, and everything to do with Trump trying to steal more power.

Right. A policy specifically tailored for israel has nothing to do with israel. The prime minister of israel asked the US government to attack US colleges for "antisemitism" because so many college students were protesting against israel's genocide against palestinians. I'm sure that has nothing to do with israel also.

> I’m not Jewish so I can’t speak authoritatively, but the Jews have a very long memory and the Holocaust was only 60-ish years ago.

What does this even mean? Also, do you think just randomly throwing in the "holocaust" is making an argument?

> I can’t imagine the majority of Jews in the US would support fascist government surveillance.

What?

I asked a simple question of why so many US politicians act like lackeys to israel. And every response so far has been awkward and obvious. Let me guess, you're next door neighbor is a holocaust survivor.

> Jews still pray prayers written during the Crusades asking for peace in the Middle East

Literal thoughts and prayers.

I have no horse in this race. But what folks say, whether prayers for peace or death to Israel, shouldn’t matter in a hot war.


I was using it as an illustrative example, so the contents of the prayers don’t matter, they could have been praying to see unicorns. Did you read the comment?
